Doggy Dreams

My dog is sleeping on my bed

deep in a doggy dream.

He’s woofing every now and then

and running, it would seem.

His paws and legs are twitching lots

and watching him is fun.

I can’t help wondering what it is

that causes him to run.

Could it be an alley cat

that’s teased him into chase?

Could it be another dog

that he is trying to race?

He must enjoy just running round

with that dog or cat,

because he never runs awake

for he is old and fat.
